Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Amount applied:
2 x 2 cm filter paper strips containing the test substance (5 %, 10 %, 25 %, 50 %) formulation were applied to the skin of the flanks under an occlusive dressing. The filter paper strip was soaked in the test substance formulation. The dressing consisted of rubberized linen patches (4 x 4 cm from Russka), patches of Idealbinde (5 x 5 cm from Pfälzische Verbandstoff-Fabrik) and Fixomull®D Stretch (adhesive fleece) from Beiersdorf AG.
Exposure period:
The test substance was applied 2 times for 24 hours within a period of 96 hours in order to detect nonspecific phenomena that are not caused by a sensitization reaction but could possibly be attributed to a shift in the irritation threshold.
Site of application:
- flank, respectively on the same area
Number of test animals:
- 4 per test concentration
Readings:
- about 24 and 48 h after the beginning of application
Assessment of skin findings (according to Draize, J.H. (1959) : Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics. The Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States Austin, Texas)



MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 6 intradermal injections in groups of two per animal
- Exposure period: 48 h
- Test groups:
A) front row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL Freund's adjuvant without test substance emulsified with 0.9% aqueous NaCL-solution in a ratio of 1 :1
B) middle row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL of the test substance formulation
C) back row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL Freund's adjuvant / 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution (1 : 1) with test substance
- Control group:
The animals were given the same injections (A, B,C) but without test substance, only with the formulating agent.
- Site: shoulder
- Duration: 48 h
- Concentrations: 2 x 4 cm filter paper strips containing the test substance (50%) formulation were applied to the skin of the shoulder under an occlusive dressing. The filter paper strip was soaked in the test substance formulation. The dressing consisted of rubberized linen patches (4 x 6 cm from Russka) and Fixomull® Stretch (adhesive fleece) from Beiersdorf AG. The control animals were not treated since the distilled water used as formulating agent was not expected to influence the result of the study.


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Day(s) of challenge: Day 14, Day 21
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test and Control groups:
1st challenge:
- The test group and control group 1 were treated with the test substance formulation (control group 2 remained untreated).
2nd challenge:
- The test group and control groups 1 and 2 were treated with the test substance formulation.
- Site: intact flank
- Concentrations: 2 x 2 cm filter paper strips containing the test substance (50%) formulation were applied to the skin of the flank under an occlusive dressing. The filter paper strip was soaked in the test substance formulation. The dressing consisted of rubberized linen patches (4 x 4 cm from Russka), patches of Idealbinde (5 x 5 cm from Pfälzische Verbandstoff-Fabrik) and Fixomull®D Stretch (adhesive fleece) from Beiersdorf AG.
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h after the removal of the patch
Challenge controls:
1st challenge:
- The control group 1 was treated with the test substance formulation (control group 2 remained untreated).
2nd challenge:
- The control groups 1 and 2 were treated with the test substance formulation.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
A positive control (reliability check) with Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde is not included in this study. However, a separate study is performed twice a year in the laboratory.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
A positive control (reliability check) with a known sensitizer is not included in this study. However, a separate study is performed twice a year in the laboratory.
The positive control with Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde techn. 85% showed that the test system was able to detect sensitizing compounds under the laboratory conditions chosen.
